Wider Ride to the Rainbow
Engineers on the project to widen the entrance to the Rainbow Bridge between New York and Ontario let the aesthetics of the Niagara Falls setting dictate their design decisions. The challenge...
Evaluation of the Return Period of the September 1992 Flood in Genova, Italy
The September 1992 flood in Genova caused great damage and loss of life. The flood peak, at the outlet of a 12.5 km2 basin, was estimated at 200...
Joint Probability Distribution of Rainfall Intensity and Duration
Intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) curves are widely used for peak discharge estimation in designing hydraulic structures. Accurate interpolated and extrapolated intensity values are difficult...
The Economic Cost of Stocking Catchable Rainbow Trout
States annually stock about 20 million pounds of catchable trout in public waters. Complete information on cost is essential to help wildlife agencies make operating and planning decisions....
Peak Runoff Prediction for Small Rural Watersheds
A regression model for peak runoff prediction from small rural watersheds was developed using the rainfall/runoff data collected from 43 watersheds in the front range of the State of Colorado....
Heuristic Knowledge-base Approach to Runoff Estimation in Midwestern States Using a SCS Curve Number Method
The applications of the Knowledge-Based engineering has emerged as a potential technique for incorporating human expertise and some degree of intelligent judgment into decision-supporting...
A Study of Alkalinity Leaching and Residual Strength of Alkaline Stabilized Sludge
The addition of sufficient amounts of quicklime or other alkaline earth oxides to dewatered sludge raises both the pH and temperature of the sludge, resulting in microbial inactivation....
Threshold Precipitation Events and Groundwater Recharge
Data from two study sites on the Nevada Test Site, Nevada are used with precipitation data from other long-term precipitation gages to identify the frequency of precipitation events that...
Effect of Data Sampling Time Resolution on Probability Distribution of Elapsed Time Between Rainfalls
The elapsed time between rainfalls is useful information in statistical forecasting of rainfall and runoff. The probability density function (pdf) of the elapsed time can be determined...
Combination of an Automated Channel Network Extracting System and a Distributed Watershed Model in Estimation Rainfall-Runoff Processes
Due to the improvement of accuracy and availability of Digital Elevation Models (DEMs), hydrologic researches which utilize DEMs have gradually reached sound results. In this paper, we...
The Summer of 1993 Floods Lower Missouri River
Throughout the State of Missouri from November 1992 through July 1993, precipitation set new records, in some cases ranging as high as 200 - 400 percent of normal rain fall. Missouri precipitation...
Relation Between Largest Known Flood Discharge and Elevation in Montana
Previous studies relating unit discharge to elevation indicated that large floods in the Rocky Mountains may be limited by elevation. However, high-elevation data are sparse in Montana...
Historical Rainfall-Runoff Analysis Using the Antecedent Precipitation Index
A long term simulation of rainfall-runoff can be used when analyzing the potential for economic benefits or flood damages to result from changes in the watershed, for developing discharge-frequency...
